Ingredients

• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter , at room temperature
• 0.5 cups canola oil
• 4 eggs , at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottoms of two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
2. 2 Beat sugar, butter, and oil together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and well combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. 3 Combine flour, baking powder, and salt together in another bowl. Alternate mixing flour mixture and buttermilk gently into the butter mixture with a spatula, mixing until just combined after each addition; the batter should be smooth and completely combined but avoid overmixing. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until the surface springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter, 30 to 35 minutes.
